A Meaningful Meeting on Our Phuket Campus

In September, Miracles Asia in Pa Khlok hosted a provincial working group to expand services and set national accreditation standards for rehabilitation facilities in Phuket.

Drug tolerance definition is sometimes misunderstood, as the nature and development of the phenomena are quite complicated. Drug tolerance occurs due to prolonged consumption of medication: sedatives, stimulants, or painkillers.

After continuous intake of a prescription or recreational drug at a certain dose, a person's reaction to it dulls.

People who experience drug tolerance tend to misuse it and develop dependence which is followed by drug addiction.

Developing drug tolerance takes you a step closer to addiction and needing a drug use rehab program such the one we provide here in Thailand - regardless if the drug in question is a prescribed medication, or one bought on the streets.

If you’re addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, your first reflex is to go to a local rehab center to get treatment.

However, as the COVID-19 pandemic has already started to wind down and travel to other countries is becoming possible again, why not go overseas for treatment instead?

You might think, “That’s too costly!

Travel expenses plus rehab equals an empty bank account!”

This isn’t necessarily the case.

There are times when it’s actually cheaper to avail of inpatient rehab in another country even when you take into account the travel expenses.
